Another exquisite, clothbound tale from Coralie Bickford-Smith...
[her] illustrations are so vivid and patterned, reminiscent of
traditional African wax prints, that each page feels alive. The
night-time stars and fireflies sparkle, though there's no glitter
or foil used, while elsewhere the text swoops bird-like across the
page
*Observer*
Depicts nature at its most majestic and tells a lovely fable about
belonging
*Financial Times*
Never have the woods looked more beautiful than in this exquisite
new fable about growing up, exploring the world and understanding
where you belong
*Angels and Urchins Magazine*
Heart-warming . . . a celebration about the world around us and the
importance of the natural world at a time when we need it the
most
*Creative Review*
Wonderful, poetically told . . . beautifully designed on the page
to match the spirit of the words, tells of the importance of
shelter and its power to encourage confidence and tolerance as well
as empowering development and independence. The interdependence of
the bird and the tree in this story is a beautiful telling of a
universal theme
*LoveReading*
Magical ... an ode to nature
